Chapter 55: Chang'an

Chang'an, Changle Palace.

Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are located on the east and west sides of Anmen Street in Chang'an City, so they are called the East Palace and the West Palace respectively.

Changle Palace is the East Palace, and Weiyang Palace is the West Palace.

However, since the Han Dynasty, the emperor is still right, and the direction is also to the west.

As a result, the West Palace Weiyang Palace became the main palace of the royal family, that is, the so-called 'Gong Palace'.

As for Changle Palace, in the Western Han Dynasty, it was used as a place for the Queen Mother to sleep and live. In addition to the two palaces, there is also a Jianzhang Palace, which was built during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are collectively referred to as the 'Three Palaces'. However, at the time of the Xinmang Rebellion, Jianzhang Palace was destroyed by a fire. Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty Liu Xiuding was the capital of Luoyang, and the Jianzhang Palace was never repaired.

For 200 years, it remained in ruins.

Chang'an, the land of Longxing, controls 800 miles of Qinchuan.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered the Guanzhong, Xiao He persuaded him to set the capital here, and said, "Those who have the Guanzhong will win the world."

At that time, Guanzhong was the most densely populated place in China.

It's a pity that after the Xinmang Rebellion and Emperor Guangwu's capital Luoyang, Guanzhong gradually declined, and Chang'an became extremely dilapidated.

In the first year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and began to repair Chang'an.

Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, which have been silent for 200 years, have been reopened, but it is a pity that today's Changle Palace has become the residence of the Han Emperor.

For no other reason, Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's Mansion was built in Weiyang Palace.

"Dong Thief summoned that Ding Chen back, could it be that he was exposed?"

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sat in the imperial study of Changle Palace, looking at the man in front of him who was wearing a black robe and couldn't see his face clearly.

The man said, "It's not necessarily because I noticed the lord's movements.

The lord thought that Dong Thief summoned Ding Chen more to prevent Lu Bu. ”

"Lu Bu? What happened to him? ”

The man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of Liaodong accent.

He said softly: "Lu Bu is a good fisherman, but this time, he hooked up with Dong Thief's love maid."

It is said that three days ago, Dong Thief was discussing in the court, but Lu Bu secretly ran to Fengyi Pavilion and had a tryst with the woman, and was noticed by Dong Zhuo. ”

"It's just a woman, why does Dong Thief cherish it so much?"

"Well, it's not clear."

"In this way, Dong Thief didn't notice Wang Shi's movements, so I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, the lord asked his ministers to come to pass a word to Your Majesty.

Now there are rumors outside that the jade seal of the country was obtained by Sun Jian. It is impossible to tell whether this is true or not. Therefore, Wang Shi is ready to test it again to see if he can force King Hongnong to show up. If the jade seal of the country is still in the hands of King Hongnong, then make another plan; If King Hongnong had not appeared, or if the jade seal of the country was really in Sun Jian's hands...... The lord meant that there was no need to bother anymore, and after trying to get rid of Dong Zhuo's old thief, he sent an edict to Sun Jian and ordered him to bring the jade seal to Chang'an. ”

"How?"

"This, but His Majesty needs to come forward."

"How?"

"The lord said that King Hongnong loved Concubine Tang the most.

If Concubine Tang marries, can he still hide?

It's just that Concubine Tang is His Majesty's sister-in-law after all, and it is not easy for others to speak, only His Majesty proposes, and Dong Zhuo will not object if he wants to come. ”

Emperor Han heard this and bowed his head slightly.

The face that looked a little innocent and a little immature was revealing a palpitating viciousness at the moment.

"That's very good...... However, who do you think is better to marry? ”

"I don't know about this."

"Well, let me think about ......"

Liu Xie smiled brightly, and said after a while: "I remember, Dong Zhuo has a general named Li Dao, right?" ”

"Yes."

"That Li Dao is ugly and extremely vulgar, and I don't like it very much.

I've seen him once before, why don't you let Sister-in-law Wang marry Li Dao? In this case, I believe Dong Zhuo will not object. ”

When the man in black heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

The young man in front of him seems to be innocent, how can he be ruthless?

Who is Li Dao?

Of course he knew.

This person is not only ugly, but also of mixed Hu and Han blood.

If this is to let Tang Ji marry Li Dao, it will be a humiliation......

He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I think I'll agree." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Liu Xie laughed. He tried to suppress this strange pleasure, but for some reason, he just couldn't suppress it. It's just that this makes his laugh, which should be immature, very gloomy.

"In this case, then tell Master Wang, I already know."

"The minister will retire first."

"Wang Yue, be careful."

This last sentence made the man in black feel warm in his heart, and his previous fear of Emperor Han was also reduced a lot.

"Minister, obey the order."

With that, he turned and left.

In the courtyard of the deep palace, there are guards everywhere, and they are heavily guarded.

But the man in black ignored it completely, like a ghost in the night, and left this Changle Palace unconsciously.

Liu Xie walked to the door of the study.

He glanced up at the dark night sky, with dark clouds obscuring the moon.

Emperor Han suddenly laughed, as if saying to himself: "Master Wang, do you really think that I am a fool and can be at your mercy?"

Ding Chen, Ding Chen...... The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

I am the master of this great Han River! ”

In the study, the lights flickered, reflecting the childish face, which was as hideous as a ghost.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is Chang'an City!

Outside Chang'an City, Ding Chen reined in his horse and raised his eyes to look at the ruined city in front of him.

Outside the city, many people were building the city walls. After all, it has not been repaired for 200 years, and this former capital of the Han family is already a little dilapidated!

Two days ago, Ding Chen received an order from Dong Zhuo to return to Chang'an.

The military affairs of Michi were handed over to others to take over, and he rushed to Chang'an first, and the trapping camp would follow to join him.

In Dong Zhuo's letter, he didn't say what he wanted to come back for, but just recalled him in simple words.

However, the handwriting in the letter, Ding Chen is not unfamiliar, it is written by Jia Xu.

This shows that he is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has not left.

At the same time, it was precisely because of Jia Xu's letter that Ding Chen was relieved. Dong Zhuo looking for him, it shouldn't be a bad thing!

Otherwise, Jia Xu will definitely express it in the letter.

"Ziyang, let's go in."

Just when Ding Chen was lamenting the ruin of Chang'an City, the curtain of the carriage behind him was lifted.

Cai Yong came out and urged Ding Chen.

This time, Dong Zhuo had another letter to Cai Yong, inviting him to come to Chang'an.

Cai Yong knew that he couldn't hide!

was able to spend half a year in Michi, but he was actually satisfied.

Since you can't hide, you can only face it.

Therefore, Cai Yong took Cai Yan and followed Ding Chen to come. accompanied by 23 orphans rescued by Cai Yan in Michi.

Originally, Cai Yong didn't want to bring them along.

But if you don't take them, who will take care of them?

It was a cold day, and as soon as Ding Chen left Michi, they would also be driven away. At that time, they will either beg on the streets or freeze to death on the streets. has been with these children for a long time, Cai Yan can't bear it, and Ding Chen won't ignore it.

"Akihime."

"Yes."

"You take the children and go to Ziyang's house to settle down temporarily."

"Good!"

Cai Yan nodded in agreement, and then glanced at Ding Chen secretly.

Seeing that Ding Chen had no intention of objecting, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and there was a little more smile in her eyes.

"Ling Ming, take people and send them to Jieshuipi."

"Whoa!"

Ding Chen immediately looked at Cai Yong and said in a deep voice: "Sir, let's go into the city." ”

Long before Ding Chen arrived in Chang'an, there were fine works that passed on their whereabouts to Chang'an City. Therefore, when they came to the city of Chang'an, they saw a tall and thin middle-aged man, wearing a black coat, waiting at the gate of the city.

Seeing him, Ding Chen couldn't help but smile.

He jumped off his horse, took a few steps forward, and said, "Mr. Wenhe, don't come unharmed." ”

thought that Jia Xu would respond, but he ignored Ding Chen, and walked straight to Cai Yong's carriage.

"Student Jia Xu, meet Cai Gong."

"You ......"

Cai Yong looked puzzled and looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Cai Gong may have forgotten that I was edicted to enter Beijing as a lang and worked under Cai Gong. ”

"I ...... I think about it, Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, Wuwei people, right. ”

Cai Yong showed a sudden look and nodded to Jia Xu again and again.

"By the way, why are you here?"

"Gong Cai knows that the student is now doing things in front of the prime minister, and he is engaged in the chief secretary of the prime minister's mansion.

Oh, a few days ago, I worked in Xingyang with Ziyang, and then I left the army because of the prime minister's call...... If he had known that he could meet Cai Gong, the student would not have left. In that case, you can also listen to Cai Gong's teachings more. ”

"Wenhe, you're welcome, you're welcome!"

Cai Yong waved his hand again and again and greeted Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Originally, the prime minister was going to come to greet Cai Gong in person, but he didn't want His Majesty to summon him temporarily, so he ordered me to come to greet him."

Cai Gong, please come with me.

The prime minister has already set up a banquet in the mansion, just waiting for Cai Gong to arrive. ”

With that, he attached Cai Yong to the carriage and turned around to walk towards the city.

At the moment when he staggered by Ding Chen, he heard Jia Xu lower his voice and say, "Ziyang, the situation in Chang'an is changeable and more dangerous. Get out of here as soon as possible if possible. If you don't fall into it, you may have to worry about your life......"
